Now, capt slo, you are our last chance showing you have 485 option as well and 19" wheels can improve this situation

According to my calculations ( on paper ), the 19" wheels address the situation in the following way:
- top of the tire to fender - 30% better on 19" wheels than what you see on 18" setup
- top of the wheel to fender - close to the distance you see on the car equipped with sport suspension and 18" wheels.
questions are: are you ready to sacrifice some comfort ? are you ready to pay 200-3000$ to buy such a combo ?
in my case, choosing 485 suspension has been an assumed decision; I've discovered the situation before the car was built ( by my own reading ), so I could influence the situation. I've even seen and driven a car equipped with this suspension, same engine, etc and have been impressed by the ride quality.
the thing I wasn't able to foreseen was the impact the color will have on car's appearance: the test drive car was black while mine is iridium silver and the gap above the rear wheel appears to our eyes more pronounced on non-black colors

This is very confusing for US built cars since all the info states the sport-tuned suspension is part of the sport package. There is no stand-alone option to order different suspensions in the US so I don't understand how you would otherwise get it. Could this be another Alabama mix up...

So we have two different suspension setups showing up on C300s in the US that are all supposed to have "sports" suspension... its either a factory screw up which would be really bad or there is some other option that is causing the spring height to be swapped as well. If I had ordered the sports pak and got the 4x4 suspension I'd be marching the car right back to the dealer. the high suspension is a deal breaker for me on these cars.

It's been some time since I first started the thread but considering how new it was, it would have taken some time to get some responses. Looks like I'm not the only one with the wrong suspension setup.
I looked up the data card on my car and it did say 485 instead 486 even though going down the build list it listed:
P29 AMG LINE INTERIOR/AMG SPORTS PACKAGE INTERIOR
P31 AMG LINE EXTERIOR/AMG SPORTS PACKAGE EXTERIOR
So they should have installed the 486 option. I'll be going to the dealer on Monday, they're not too far from work and ask them to verify this.
There's another thread for the RWD C300 Sport that's having the same issue with the swapped 485 and 486 options.

Mercedes-Benz CLK 550
W205 OWNERS – NOW AVAILABLE – ONGOING/PRECISELY ADJUSTABLE FRONT CAMBER AND CASTER. ALSO REAR CAMBER WITH “EXTRA” TOE ADJUSTMENT KITS.
With K-MAC the statement “Full Front and Rear Alignment” again means what it says (currently only Toe adjustment)
No ongoing visits to dealers or alignment shops or constantly changing tire brands.
Fixing it right the first time with “Camber” adjustment - to resolve costly premature tire wear, improve traction. “Caster” - to resolve steering pull, improve brake and steering response/directional control with better turn in. Also essential if altering height, fitting wide profile tires/wheels, load carrying or curb knock damage.
Alternative is “crash bolts” (front only) but these are inaccurate one position. Only allowing .3 of one degree (1/8 of an inch) offset. Labour intensive to remove and replace. While K-MAC patented system is precise/accurate front (and also) rear “single wrench” ongoing adjustment on car (accurately under load)!
Kits replace the highest wearing front bushes (4) and the rear (4). The unique 2 axis design also allows twice the load bearing area! Improving brake and steering response.

So I just checked on EPC net the build configuration on my car and under the suspension code, the 485 option is the only one listed. When I checked the VIN on another C300 4matic w/ sport, it had both the 485 and 486 options. 
Does that mean based on the car's configuration/options that the 485 is the only option applicable for my car and it's not a mistake?
Hopefully, Vic can give his input.

Your car has the Comfort Running Gear SA code 485, it is not possible to have both 485 and 486

i hope you get this resolved to your satisfaction, this was precisely the reason why i refused my initial order because it was delivered with the 485 suspension. My replacement order is due to arrive in about 3 weeks.

That's not to say I am happy with the ride height because I definitely am not. I had already explored aftermarket springs but the Vogtlands (IMO) are too stiff. I'm hoping MB-USA or my dealer will do the right thing and put the proper suspension on the car. It's either that or get me out of the car and let me order one with Airmatic...that would make me very happy.
I'm not requesting anything special, just to get what I paid for.
